<p>I'll use this opportunity to remind you that 3.4 build is broken
-- it can't be built from start to installer with the instructions
given because of outside factors (CPython has migrated from Hg to
Git). <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.python.org/issue31623">https://bugs.python.org/issue31623</a> about this was ignored
(see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.python.org/issue31623#msg303708">https://bugs.python.org/issue31623#msg303708</a> for supplemental
fixes).<br>
</p>
<p>If this isn't something considered needing a fix, the claim that
3.4 is supported in any shape and form is but a pretense -- if
something can't be built, it can't be used.<br>

My six-month cadence means it's time for the next releases of 3.4
and 3.5. There haven't been many changes since the last
releases--two, to be exact. These two security fixes were
backported to both 3.4 and 3.5:<br>
<ul>
<li>bpo-32981: Fix catastrophic backtracking vulns (GH-5955)</li>
<li>bpo-33001: Prevent buffer overrun in os.symlink (GH-5989)</li>
</ul>
3.5 also got some doc-only changes related to the online "version
switcher" dropdown. (They weren't backported to 3.4 because we
don't list 3.4 in the version switcher dropdown anymore.)<br>
<br>
<br>
There are currently no PRs open for either 3.4 or 3.5, and they
also have no open "release blocker" or "deferred blocker" bugs.
It seems things are pretty quiet in our two security-fixes-only
branches--a good way to be!<br>
<br>
I therefore propose to cut the RCs in a week and a half, and the
finals two weeks later. So:<tt><br>
</tt>
<blockquote><font size="+1"><tt>Wednesday July 18 2018 - 3.4.9rc1
and 3.5.6rc1</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Wednesday August 1 2018 - 3.4.9 final and 3.5.6 final</tt></font><br>
</blockquote>
If anybody needs more time I'm totally happy to accommodate
them--you can probably have all the time you need. I'm trying to
keep to my rough six-month cadence, but honestly that's pretty
arbitrary. <br>
<br>
Thanks to all of you who keep making 3.4 and 3.5 better,<br>
<br>
